This week we have been discussing inferences. Inferencing is when a reader has to make an educated guess based off the clues in the text and their background knowledge. This is a deeper and more complex reading skill as the answers are not there for us. Readers have to think about their lives and their experiences to help.
story clues+ what we know=INFERENCE
For example, if a character got back their test and sunk deep in their seat and frowned, we would make an inference that they did poorly.
Here are a few sites that explain this skill and allow you to practice. You'd be amazed on how much you infer in your daily lives! Most of us make inferences without even realizing it.
